dun. Tho statistics were not encouraging,
rs they gave every prospect Of n half million
larger increase ia the visible supply than last

merits. The local stock has been reduced for
the week about 1900 bu. The firmness in
corn continued To the close, May stopping at

were steady at the best prices reached ycster-
day.
Provisions were active, unsettled and

fair supply OF buying orders from the coun-
try. Shorts also bought moderately, but

Married, to-day, as 81 Johns Episcopai
Church. By the Rev. W. d. Garter, III. John +.
SpeSn, Of Mouticello, and Miss Jennie B. whit
aker, Of Tallahassee
Long before the appointed hour arrived the
friends and acquaintances of the bride began TO
assemble at the church to witness the cercm ony.
and many were the expressions OF regret that
one of the most accomplished aud popular young
ladies of the Capital City should leave the CON-
munity in which she IL % much admired.
The appearance Of the bride gave occasion for
general turning Of heads, and soon the bride,
leaning on the arm of Governor Perry, was pre-
ceded 10 the altar by Mr. and Mrs W. o. Ames,
where the groom met the bride, having passed
through the vestry room with Mr. D. A. Finlsy-
son.
The bride looked beautiful in a gray camels
hair dress aud gray hat with exquisite bouquet de
corsage of Marechal Mel roses.
After the impressive marriage service the
newly welded couple, with Gov. Perry and Mr..
D. A. Finlayson, drove to the residence Of Mrs.
Sarah Whitaker. from whence they proceeded 10
the depot and took the one o'clock train for Mon
ticello, the home of the groom.
The attendance al the marriage was large. and
all remarked upon the lovely and handsome APP
pearance Of the bride.
Miss Jennie will be greatly missed by multi
tude of friends and admirers at the Capital all of
whom join in wishing for the happy couple long
life of felicity. The congregation of 81. Johns
Church will deplore the loss from its choir of
Miss Jennies voice of superior sweetness and
crlture hut Monticello reioices in this valuable
acquisition to her society.
Mr.. Spears. the fortunate and happy groom, is
a highly esteemed young business man OF Mon
tlcello and is cordially congratulated ..oy his
many friends upon his success in winning one OF
Tallahassees brightest jewels and loveliest young
ladies.

The Manufacturer Record publishes about five
pages of special reports from the entire South as
to the crops and condition of business. The
corn crop Of the South is unprecedentedly large,
exceeding the yield of 1886 by over $1,000, 600
bushels, the yield Of 1885 by $4,000, 900 bushels,
and the yield OF 1884 by 107 900 bushels
The South will this year, it is said, be nearly
self-supporling in the matter Of corr, and many
millions of dollars that have heretofore gone
West for corn will this season be saved to South
ern farmers While recent unfavorable weather
has damaged TO some extent the cotton pros
poets which a month ago promised such an
enormous yield the crop will be large one.
Advanced prices for tobacco will, it is claimed,
counter balance to the farmers the decrease in
yield, due mainly to decreased acreage.
Other crops have with few exceptions been
very good, and it is said that the farmers will
enjoy greater prosperity than for many seasons.
Business prospects are reported brighter than
ever before, and one correspondent predicts
that this will be noted as a debtpaying year.

ZACH in diameter, and of grayish color. One
end tapers to rather blunt point, while the
other end is fat, with an aperture, from which
may be seen that the stone is filled with sub.
